A quarter-page paid advertisement in Bay Area News Group sports sections on Thursday advocated the hiring of Jackson, who guided the Raiders to an 8-8 record in 2011, his only year as head coach.

Jackson is the offensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals.

The ad detailed the Raiders” woes dating to 2002, the season in which they won the AFC West and conference championship before losing the Super Bowl to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The first paragraph of the advertisement read:

“We, die-hard fans of the Oakland Raiders, encourage the current ownership and management to hire coach Hue Jackson in 2015. We want to publish an open letter in this newspaper and make our voices heard. Please visit … https://bringbackhuejackson.com and go to Facebook to like Hire Hue Jackson.”

Jackson was originally hired by Al Davis as offensive coordinator under Tom Cable. Under Cable”s guidance in 2009, the Raiders scored 197 points. With Jackson as offensive coordinator, the Raiders scored 410 points in 2010.

Davis fired Cable and hired Jackson as head coach in 2011. Davis died Oct. 8 of cardiac arrest, and Jackson had the Raiders with a 7-4 record going into Week 13.

After the Raiders finished out losing four of their last five games, including a 38-26 loss to the San Diego Chargers to finish out of the playoffs, Jackson criticized the team and expressed a desire to be more involved within all aspects of the organization.

Owner Mark Davis, however, hired Reggie McKenzie as general manager, and McKenzie fired Jackson, expressing a desire to bring in his own head coach. McKenzie”s selection, Dennis Allen, was 8-28 in two and a quarter seasons before he was fired with the Raiders 0-4 this season.

The newspaper ad was paid for by “Supporters of Hire Hue Jackson,” and the website was seeking donations with a goal of $6,000 “needed to advance our cause.”

Quarterback Terrelle Pryor had a 93-yard touchdown run against Pittsburgh last season. The Raiders have two of the four runs in the NFL of 90-plus yards in the past two years.

Murray also opened the scoring with an 11-yard run and had 112 yards on four carries before leaving to be evaluated for a concussion. The last Raiders” 100-yard rusher was Marcel Reece (19 carries, 123 yards) Dec. 8 against the New York Jets.

The scoring run in the first quarter was the first of Murray”s career. It also was the first rushing touchdown for the Raiders since Oct. 19 against Arizona and the first rushing touchdown allowed by the Chiefs this season.

“It”s hard to put into words what it means to be back here at the Coliseum,” Guy said in a pregame news conference. “The special thing about it is all my former teammates and all the Hall of Famers that have had the opportunity to be around today and sit around, reminisce and talk about different things.

“It”s just one more memory that I”m programming in my mind that I”ll have the rest of my life and I”m going to carry it forever.”
